Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Mayfair building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
