The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Mayfair building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
