Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Lyall Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
