Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Highbury building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
