The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Linden building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects 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 house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
