What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Harbour View building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
