The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Longlands building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
