What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Hospital Hill building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
