The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
