What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Longlands building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
