Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
