Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified 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 ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
