Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Plimmerton building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
