The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Highbury building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
