The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Woodridge building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
