What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Breaker Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
