Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Haywards building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
