If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
