Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Haywards building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
