What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Bluff Hill building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
