The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
