Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Mayfair building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
