The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Breaker Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
