The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Highbury building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are 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: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
