What Is A Pre Purchase Building Inspection?

A pre purchase building inspection provides a detailed, easy to read report. It tells you about the major faults a home has. The faults highlighted include any cracking walls, rising damp, leaking roofs and safety hazards. In addition, it also highlights any unauthorised works.

It is recommended by Consumers Affairs Victoria that you engage a qualified building inspector. This is to ensure that all faults in a home are uncovered. In addition, it will help uncover where attempts have even been made to cover faults up!

Buy With Confidence With Our Pre Purchase Building Inspections

It is well worth it for the peace of mind to have a pre purchase building inspection. This is especially true as sellers are under no obligation to disclose any structural damage to the property you are thinking of purchasing.

We usually spend one to two hours completing the report. Your building inspection report will be sent to you within 24 hours. Furthermore, we will do it even quicker if you need it urgently.

All Checked Out have the appropriate qualifications (including being a Registered Builder), equipment and experience. This means you are assured that your building inspection will be done right.

Why Do You Need A Building Inspection Before You Buy

You might get lucky if you don’t get a building inspection done before you buy your home. However, chances are that the home you buy will have some defects. Some of these defects may be relatively minor. Worryingly, some may cost you thousands of dollars to repair. Some may even require you to knock down structures.

The reasons to have an inspection are clear. It makes sure you know about all defects. This includes major defects, structural defects, safety hazards as well as any minor defects.

It is common that every home has at least one defect that requires repair to avoid any further damage. A defect could be something as simple as a damaged roof tile that is allowing water in when it rains. However, it can be as serious as termite damage to the foundation of the house. That’s why it is essential to know what is wrong with a home before you buy.

Common Defects We Find When We Do a Pre Purchase Building Inspection

Here are some of the most common problems we come across when we do a pre purchase building inspection:

  • Structural wall removed leaving the home with structural problems
  • Termites attacking timber structure
  • Leaking ceiling covered up with fresh paint
  • Cracked bricks on external walls. Sometimes covered by rendering or painting
  • Self built decks and pergolas that are unsafe and may even have required a permit but one was not obtained
  • House restumped but is not level
  • Locked rooms or garages that can hide major defects
  • Rotting timber under bathroom, kitchen or laundry due to leaking pipes
  • Poor external drainage not noticeable during summer months

What is Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007

When you’re looking to engage a building inspector, it’s crucial to choose one who follows Australian Standard 4349.1-2007, “Inspection of Buildings – Pre-Purchase Inspections – Residential Buildings.”

At All Checked Out, we strictly adhere to this standard, ensuring that every inspection we conduct is thorough and reliable. This standard guides us in evaluating all visible and accessible areas of the property, providing you with a comprehensive report on its structural integrity, safety, and overall condition.

With All Checked Out, you can confidently make the decision to buy your new home, knowing that any potential issues have been professionally assessed and reported in accordance with Australian Standard 4349.1-2007.
