The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Woodridge building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises 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 issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
