Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
