What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Longlands building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
