The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Woolwich building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
