What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Linden building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
