The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Woodridge building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
