If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Longlands building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
