Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Haywards building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
