Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Frasertown building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
