The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Highbury building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
