Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
