The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

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 highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
