The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
