Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Woodridge building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the 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 siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
