Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Frimley building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
