Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Haywards building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
