If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Woolwich building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. 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 with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
