Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
