If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Lyall Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
