If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Harbour View building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
