Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Breaker Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
