Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Highbury building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: 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 you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
