The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Woodridge building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
