Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Highbury building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home 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, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
