The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
