Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Highbury building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
