The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure 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.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
