What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Harbour View building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
