What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Longlands building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting 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 expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
