Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Highbury building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
