What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Lyall Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
