Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Longlands building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the 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: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
