What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Harbour View building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
