The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Linden building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
