The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Woodridge building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
