What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Birchville building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
