If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Breaker Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household 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. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
