The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
