The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, 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 believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Highbury building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
