The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Linden building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
