Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Woodridge building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
