Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Breaker Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
