The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Haywards building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
