Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Mayfair building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
