Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

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 expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Woodridge building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
