What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Harbour View building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
