The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Linden building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or 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.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
