Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
