What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Harbour View building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
