The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Glenside building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
