Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

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

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed 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, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
