Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Highbury building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into 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 installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
