If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by 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 costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
