Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
