Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Haywards building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
