The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Woodridge building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
