Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Parkvale building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
