The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Haywards building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
