If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection 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 house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Crofton Downs building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and 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 caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
