Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Crofton Downs building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
