Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Highbury building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
