The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Harbour View building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
