If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Breaker Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
