The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Harbour View building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
