The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Harbour View building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
