Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Breaker Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
