What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
