What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Longlands building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
