The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
