What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Longlands building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
