Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Flaxmere building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
