What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Parkvale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

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

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are 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: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
