Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Frimley building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need 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.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
