Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Jervoistown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
