What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Linden building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
