If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Breaker Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or 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 require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
