Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Highbury building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
