A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Woodridge building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

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

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
