If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Jervoistown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
