What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Linden building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
