Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Longlands building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
