The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Taradale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
