The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Highbury building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
