What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Longlands building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
