Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Tomoana building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
