What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Highbury building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
