Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Hospital Hill building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
