The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Haywards building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
