What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
