What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Highbury building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
