Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Breaker Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
