Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Linden building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built 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 if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
