What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Pandora building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

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

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
