The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Lyall Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
