Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Crofton Downs building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of 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 home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
