You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major 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 property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
