If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Lyall Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
