The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Harbour View building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
