The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Hospital 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 ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
