If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Harbour View building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
