Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Woodridge building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
