The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued 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 areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
