What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Linden building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
