What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
