What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
