Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Woolwich building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
