The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Taradale building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
