What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report 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 highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
