What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Breaker Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
