Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Woodridge building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
