The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Linden building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
