Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Harbour View building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
