The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Woodridge building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
