Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Woodridge building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
