The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Highbury building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
