The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Harbour View building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
