Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication 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

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
