The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Woolwich building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or 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.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
