The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Highbury building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
