The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Flaxmere building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
