The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
