Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Bluff Hill building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed 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 be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household 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. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
