Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered 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 says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Elderslea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
