Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
