What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
