Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
