The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Woolwich building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
