Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
