Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Mayfair building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
