The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Breaker Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
