Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Elderslea building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
