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 solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Taradale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
