Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Harbour View building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
