Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property 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 acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Linden building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
