The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
