Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Jervoistown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
