Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Linden building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
