What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
