Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Linden building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
