Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
