Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
