Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Flaxmere building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
