What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Parkvale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
