If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
