Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Pandora building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
