What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Timberlea building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
