The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Elderslea building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your 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: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
