Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Breaker Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
