If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Linden building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
