Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Woodridge building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home 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 piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
