Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Mayfair building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to 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: Look for them if your home 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, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
