The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Lyall Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from 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

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
