Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.
