It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
