What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Harbour View building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
