What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Woodridge building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
