The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Elderslea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
