It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Harbour View building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been 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 can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
