Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
