The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Linden building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt 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, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
