If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Breaker Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
