Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Longlands building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
