Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Lyall Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
