Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Breaker Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the 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.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
