The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
