What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
