The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Lyall Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
