What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Woolwich building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
