Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

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

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Hospital Hill building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
