Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
