If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Linden building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
