The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Haywards building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
