The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Harbour View building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
