Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Breaker Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
