Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
