What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. 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 has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
