Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Woodridge building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
