Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Linden building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
