Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Lyall Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise 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 or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences.
