If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
