Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Tomoana building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
