What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Highbury building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household 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 pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
