What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Haywards building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
