The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Linden building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
