Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Highbury building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
