The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Homedale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
