The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Breaker Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
