Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Crofton Downs building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
