The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Highbury building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
