What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Linden building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
