The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
