Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
