Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Woodridge building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should 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 are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
