The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Harbour View building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
