Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or 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 is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
