The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
