Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Elderslea building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
