Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Hospital Hill building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. 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 moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
