Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Harbour View building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
