Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Linden building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from 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

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
