Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Ebdentown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
