If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Woolwich building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
