Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Breaker Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
