Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Woodridge building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
