The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Harbour View building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
