Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found 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 friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Longlands building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
