Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Elderslea building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
