What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Elderslea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
