Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Lyall Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty 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 issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
