The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Haywards building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
