The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Longlands building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
