What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Highbury building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences.
