Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from 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 makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
