The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Highbury building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
