The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Lyall Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
