Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
