Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
