Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed 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 could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in 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 could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
