Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

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 check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
