The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
