If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
