The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
