Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
