If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed 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 might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
