If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Bluff Hill building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are 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 your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
