The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Woodridge building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
