Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Hospital Hill building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
