The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, 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 acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Elderslea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Elderslea

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
