The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Woodridge building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built 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 if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
