Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Breaker Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
