The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home 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 future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
