What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Lyall Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
