The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Jervoistown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should 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 that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
