Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Roys Hill building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
