What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Woolwich building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
