Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Parkvale building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
