If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are 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: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
