What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
