Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Woodridge building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

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

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
