Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Harbour View building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with 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 a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
