What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

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

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Flaxmere building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
