Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Iona building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
