If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Linden building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
