The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Breaker Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and 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: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
