What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Jervoistown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
