Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Parkvale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. 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: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
