The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
