It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Harbour View building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
