The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.
