Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Taradale building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
