What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Harbour View building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
