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

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Woodridge building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
