Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
