Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Frimley building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
