Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Taradale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
