What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Breaker Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built 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 when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
