Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Breaker Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
