Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Woodridge building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
