What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Highbury building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
