The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Haywards building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
