Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Lyall Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household 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 pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
