What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Breaker Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
