Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Woolwich building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
