If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Harbour View building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
