Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Ebdentown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
