The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Flaxmere building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
