Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Woodridge building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
