Peace of Mind

We will carry out an in-depth inspection of your property in order to provide you with an accurate and honest detailed written report on the building including photos of any issues to give you assurance that the house you purchase will be of the standard you expect.

A thorough inspection by a Linden building inspector usually lasts between one and half and 2 hours on site. But, we will allow maximum two hours for our standard pre purchase inspections in Linden. This is followed by a few additional hours for the preparation of the report.

Our reports are precise yet understandable to inform you as clearly as possible regarding your prospective new home. You put yourself in a stronger position for negotiation by being fully in the know to make well-informed property decisions.

Don’t end up over-paying for an home that is going to give you headaches with future issues. We can pinpoint the areas where most issues occur and give you expert advice on how you can move forward.

Depending on what the results of a house inspection uncovers the home inspector may allow you to use a report to assist you in negotiating with the seller about price or even repairs. Even if a report uncovers minor problems, you can still use it as a reference to plan future maintenance.

Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Linden building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
