Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Harbour View building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture 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 household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
