Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Highbury building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
