You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
