The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Elderslea building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
