If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or 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.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
