What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Crofton Downs building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
