If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
