The Reason 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 is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Jervoistown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and 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 home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
