What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued 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 points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
