What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

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

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
