Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Lyall Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
