Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
