Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Linden building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: 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 are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
