What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Taradale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives 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 gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
