The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Breaker Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
