The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Haywards building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
