Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Breaker Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
