The Reason 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 sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Woodridge building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
