What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Highbury building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
