What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Woolwich building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

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 look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
