The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Linden building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
