If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Woolwich building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are 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. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
