The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Longlands building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
