The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Lyall Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
