Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Linden building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
