What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Highbury building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
