Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
