Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified St Leonards building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
