The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Melling building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
