What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Lyall Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
