The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Elderslea building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. 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 require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
