Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Parkvale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
