The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Haywards building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
