Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Hospital Hill building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
