The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Woolwich building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
