Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Linden building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look 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 won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
