Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Woolwich building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and 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: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
