Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
