What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
