What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Harbour View building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
