The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Longlands building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
