Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Linden building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
