Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Harbour View building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the 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.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
