If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Longlands building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
