Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search 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.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
