The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Linden building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Linden

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
