The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Timberlea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
