The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
