What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Harbour View building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
