A Comprehensive Building & Home Inspection in Longlands

Peace of Mind

We will carry out an exhaustive inspection of your property as well as provide you with an accurate and honest comprehensive written report, complete with photographs of any issues to give you assurance that the house you are purchasing is of the quality you expect.

The thorough inspection performed by the Longlands building inspector usually will take between one and a half hours, and up to two hours on the site. However, we allow a maximum of two hours to conduct our standard pre-purchase inspections in Longlands. Then, we spend a few additional hours to prepare the report.

Our reports are precise yet understandable in an effort to inform you as accurately as possible about your potential new property. It puts you in a stronger position for negotiation in the event that you are fully aware of your options to make educated real estate decisions.

Don’t overpay for an house that’s likely to give you headaches with the possibility of future problems. We’re aware of where the most frequent issues occur and provide professional tips on how to proceed.

Depending on what a house inspection finds, you may be able to utilise a report to help negotiate with the seller about price or repair. Even if a report uncovers minor problems, you are able to still use it as a road map for any future maintenance.

What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

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 to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
