The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Harbour View building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
