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.
