Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Linden building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
