If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Longlands building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Longlands

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
