Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Elderslea building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
