Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Haywards building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
