Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Harbour View building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
