If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
