Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
