Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an 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. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
