Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself 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 a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Mayfair building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
