Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Mayfair building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
