Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Breaker Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
