Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Glenside building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
