Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
