Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Mayfair building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
