If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
