The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household 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 pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
