If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may 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 a qualified Linden building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
