Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built 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 pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
