What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Hospital Hill building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
