What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Longlands building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
