Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Lyall Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
