The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Mayfair building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
