Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

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

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Longlands building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
