Why home inspections are important when buying a home

#1 Helps Determine Whether the House is Structurally Stable

The last thing you want is for your new house to sink or show signs of cracks just as you move in. Many houses that aren’t stable might eventually collapse as well. Having the house inspected before signing the deal can help you in a lot of ways. You can find out whether the property is safe to live in. This is why it is crucial to understand whether the structure is stable or not, as repairing the entire house could cost you a fortune.

#2 Calculate the Cost Of Major Repairs

A house with few problems may not seem like a big deal at first. However, additional problems may create even bigger issues that you can’t foresee. At times, these minor issues may seem like a simple fix. But it doesn’t take long for them to turn into major problems and you’d have to fork out a lot of money to fix a house you just bought.

Start calculating the cost of repairs that need to be done by adding the costs of all hidden problems. A pre purchase inspection will give you a clear idea of what needs to be altered in order to be in line with Australian Standards.

#3 Identify Safety Issues

Many buyers purchase houses when they are starting a family, and safety should be the main priority before purchasing. An inspection can help you identify any major safety concerns that might exist. It will also reveal whether any issues like mould, mildew, cracks or asbestos and any other dangers are present. This makes it easier for you to decide what needs to be changed to make the house safe to live in.

#4 Note Fire Hazards

Fire can be a real threat to any property. It can cause extensive damage to the house as well as harm to people. Electrical problems are one of the most common reasons for fire breakouts in homes. A building inspection can reveal issues with electrical installations and fixtures. Problems such as poor wiring, old electrical circuits etc. can pose a fire risk. While all of these are fixable, it’s important to know what requires fixing. This is one of the things a building inspection can reveal.
