If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Linden building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building 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 property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert 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.
