Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Woodridge building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
