The Reason Why 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 professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Parkvale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
