The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Woodridge building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
