Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

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

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
