Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Harbour View building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
