Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and 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: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
