Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Highbury building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
