Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
