If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Longlands building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
