Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also 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 prepared by an certified Linden building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
