Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Breaker Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the 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 cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
