Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with 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 house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
