The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
