Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Elderslea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
