Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection 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 was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Lyall Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
