What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
