What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
