The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Mayfair building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

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

Thorough Building Inspections Mayfair

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
