Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
