Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified ?t?ne building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications 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 where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
