Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Birchville building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
