What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Woodridge building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
