What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Breaker Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to 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: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
