Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Lyall Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
