The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Breaker Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
