Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
