The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
