Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Woodridge building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
