The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Lyall Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
