Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Linden building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
