The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Highbury building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.

Does that alteration have permission from the building? A thorough building inspection report can identify what construction work doesn't have a building consent.
