What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
