The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Woolwich building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
