Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred 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 could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household 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 that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
