Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been 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: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
