Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Harbour View building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built 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, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
