The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Taradale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
