Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Parkvale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
