Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Longlands building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
