The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Haywards building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
