The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
