What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
