The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Harbour View building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.
