The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Mayfair building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
