Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Woodridge building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
