Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Breaker Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
