What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Highbury building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
