If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Woodridge building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

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

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
