Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Woodridge building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
