Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Roys Hill building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
