Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Harbour View building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
