What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Woodridge building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
