What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Woodridge building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs 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 where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
