Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Harbour View building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
