Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Woolwich building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic 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 appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
