The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Highbury building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
