Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Jervoistown building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
