If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Woodridge building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
