Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Lyall Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
