The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Woodridge building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
