What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Elderslea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed 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 in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
