Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Harbour View building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
