The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Harbour View building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
