Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Taradale building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
