Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
