Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Breaker Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
