The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might 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 won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
