What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
