The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
