What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Elderslea building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
