What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Elderslea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
