What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Twyford building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
