What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
