What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Woolwich building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
