If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Breaker Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
