If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Harbour View building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
