Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Haywards building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
