Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Woodridge building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
