Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Linden building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
