The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Breaker Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
