The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
