If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Harbour View building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Harbour View

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
