The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Highbury building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.

Inspections of properties or home inspections are a must for anyone buying an house. With the increasing cost of homes and the rising costs of building maintenance, it is important to know precisely what you're purchasing.
