Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Linden building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
