What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
