Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Highbury building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
