What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Highbury building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from 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 location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
