The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Stokes Valley building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
