Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Highbury

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household 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 pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
