Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
