What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Parkvale building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
