Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Harbour View building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
