Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Harbour View building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
