Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Linden building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" 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 placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
