Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Woolwich building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
