What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Woodridge building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
