If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Linden building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
