What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Longlands building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
