The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Breaker Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
