Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Birchville building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
