If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Linden building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
