Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Haywards building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used 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 construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
