Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Breaker Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
