Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Lyall Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
