Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Jervoistown 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. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
