What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Haywards building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
