Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Taradale building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
