What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
