The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Woolwich building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
