Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Elderslea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences.
