What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Woolwich building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
