Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Woodridge building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
