Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Taradale building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
