What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Pandora building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to 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 cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
