Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Woolwich building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
