Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Breaker Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

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

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
