Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered 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 expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Parkvale building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
