The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Bluff Hill building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
