The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Pandora building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
