If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Harbour View building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

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

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
