Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Frimley building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
