The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Linden building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
