The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
