The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Birchville building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a 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 building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
