Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
