Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
