If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Longlands building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
