What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, 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 prepared by an qualified Woodridge building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
