Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Taradale building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Taradale

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household 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 that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
