Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Birchville building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
