Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Longlands building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences.
