If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are 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 expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
