What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
