Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
