Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Haywards building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
