Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
