Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Jervoistown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting 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 piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
