Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Linden building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
