The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
