Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Harbour View building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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 are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
