The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Lyall Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
