Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Ebdentown building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
